Breathing

Standard

*

it’s the stall that

makes me nervous

the space between

branches that

.

makes me breath

.

the silent wake up

calls before the

birds sing that

has me pray

.

I Notice

Standard

*
I notice the silence

.

not anymore the chirping
or the chatter of the wind

.

I notice the hummingbird
trying stillness by furious

.

flapping I stop engaging
myself I let go of my eyes

.

frantic grasping of letters
on a page putting the book

.

down where it was letting
my head as beheaded

.

falling too

.

.

Poem from the bilingual book California Notebook available for you also online.

An Upside Down World

Standard

*

tonight
the moon is full

emptied from a thousand
engagements I lay in hot
water maybe illuminated

from the sky the silence
repose approaching
hidden from light

an upside down world
a somersault and a wriggle to

find myself wondering star under
inside some lights I turn off
before the thoughts – then the eyes

slightly vibrating
weightless in the space
I found within

Give Shapes To Music

Standard

*
my favorite occupation
has been that of
listening to silence

to give shapes
to music singing
with my hands

on top of the colors
that lay already there
to tiptoe in-love

slowing down
my responses
to evade darkness

into the beauty held
inside as the harmony
viable all around

Poem from California Notebooks 01

How Often We Forget

Standard

*
how often we forget
it is us revolving
around the sun

we sit contemplating
in our living room
the shadows changing

how often we forget
we are mirrors
of others attitudes

we point the finger
pick up a part to act
just impersonating

how often we forget
to simply be a simple
word being thank you

no chats about the sun
moving raising setting
telling ourselves truths

Eternity Roams

Standard

*
eternity roams
inside me I can’t
help but travel

forever wondering
the mind and space
on earth as in dreams

seeking some order
chasing the waters
harmony to fill me

deep from the inside
to make me a lake
alas at home

A Hint of Poetry for the New Year

Standard

Happy New Year, Happy New Life!

*

I wish no one
to die without a hint
of poetry

a hue of love
compassion or
passion

I wish you
all the urge to cross
over this

threshold
while in your home
a nice skin

seeking a touch
from heaven to come

Love is Reverence

Standard

*

I have worn shoes
covered with trails

dust sticking loud
louder than my long

path of silence I
have asked to see

the way I could tread
barefoot as in a dream

where roads aren’t
hard where people

say without speaking
love is reverence

.

The Birds Trills

Standard

*

just before
I breathed in I was
breathing out

I run to this
place to be with you
you seem aloof

to life or to give
anything out afraid
even to receive

I play with the birds
trills as people rush
home from work
